Flynow,

We were privvy to 16 different quotes from Blink that represented a typical week on our CJ's.

By the time we had added on the Landing / Handling fees the total price for the 16 flights was £119,000. The same routes on our CJ's would be £107,000 at normal pricing - less to brokers. Some routes were cheaper, but bizarrely the ones that an operator should want less.

Apart from the small percentage of clients that insist on a New airframe, there is nothing different to the current CJ market apart from excluded landing fees and a smaller cabin, payload.

It's all marketing spin, both the fundraising hype and the client facing stuff. We have had a few clients approached by them and as far as I know not lost one yet.
